OrdrFlw aggregates publicly available market data and provides general analytical tools.
Data is provided "as is" without warranty of accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. Always
verify with your broker before placing trades. None of this is personalized financial advice.
For paid market-data feeds
Real-time stock and options prices come from Alpaca Markets's SIP and OPRA feeds, which are licensed at the platform level. You don't need an Alpaca subscription to view the data inside OrdrFlw — that's our cost.
How to get fully real-time charts
The default chart embed (TradingView) is delayed 15 minutes per exchange rules for free embeds. To see real-time bars, click 📊 TradingView → toggles to ⚡ Real-Time in the chart header — this uses our Alpaca feed instead. Or click ↗ on any chart to open it in your TradingView Pro account on tradingview.com (your TV Pro subscription unlocks real-time there).
